Tim Tebow Rejects Porn King Hefner’s Offer
(Monroe)
I love the fact that All-American Florida quarterback Tim Tebow chose to opt out of Playboy magazine’s invitation to be their choice on their All-Playboy team.
Here’s some quotes from the tampabay.com article. (A brief article is also on the front page of today’s USA Today sports section.)
“Tim Tebow will not be among the players on the Playboy Preseason All-America team after Florida officials decided not to nominate the junior quarterback because of his religious convictions…
…Tebow is a Christian who is actively involved in missionary work.
“”It was the decision of the University of Florida not to nominate him to the prestigious 52-year old Playboy All-America tradition.” [Playboy senior vice president Gary] Cole told the Times. “I can only guess at their reasons but I know that Tim is a deeply religious young man and perhaps would be uncomfortable accepting an invitation from Playboy. I’m a fairly religious man myself, but I have no problem working and writing for Playboy. It becomes a matter of individual choice.”… “
Cole is a “fairly religious man” and makes his living producing porn? I don’t understand…
Now I’m a Tim Tebow fan. Here’s a young man who is arguably the best player in college football who has enough character to not be manipulated by the multi-billion dollar porn industry. Now that’s different, radical, even revolutionary.

While in Tulsa i got to know Rocky Calmus. He was an All American at Oklahoma and was a Butkis award winner as the top Linebacker in the nation. He was named to the Playboy team prior to his senior year but refused the trip to the mansion for the articule and photo’s. This is the kind of stuff we like hearing.
